OPERATING PRINCIPLE
IMMEDIATE COOKING (FIG. A)
Warning:
Do not use any metal containers or
aluminium trays.
The microwaves used for cooking are
electromagnetic waves. They are
commonly found in our environment in
the form of radio waves, light and infrared
rays.
Their frequency is in the 2450 MHz range.
Their behaviour:
· They are refl ected by metals.
· They travel through all other materials.
· They are absorbed by water, fat and
sugar molecules.
When food is exposed to microwaves its
molecules begin moving rapidly, causing
it to heat up.
The penetration depth of waves into the
food is approximately 2.5 cm; if the food
is thicker, the centre of the food will be
cooked by conduction, as in conventional
cooking.
Note that microwaves cause a simple
thermal phenomenon within food and are
not harmful to health.
Open the door. Set the dish inside and
close the door.
If the dish is too large to turn freely inside
the oven, deactivate the turntable’s
rotation before or during the programme.
5 microwave power levels are
available :
100 (defrost) - 300 - 500 - 900 - 1000
Watts.
- Turn the function selector to choose the
required power.
The display flashes and a cooking time
is displayed according to the cooking
mode.
- Confirm with the
key; the cooking
starts and the countdown is displayed.
Your oven has the “SMART ASSIST”
function which, when programming a
cooking time, will suggest a cooking time
which can be modified depending on the
selected cooking mode.
You can modify the cooking time with the
+ and - keys.
Select a cooking mode. Change the
cooking time if necessary.
Press
. The end of cooking symbol
flashes to indicate that it can be set.
You can modify the end of cooking time
with the + and - keys.

You may heat 2 plates at the same
time. In this case, put one plate on the
turntable and the other on the 3rd shelf
of the grill.
Tips:
Cover the plates with special
microwave film, a plate cover or
another plate placed upside-down on
the first:
- To obtain the most even reheating.
- To avoid the food drying out.
- To reduce the reheating time.
- To prevent food spatter in the oven.
The foods keep all their flavour due to
the steaming effect.
HEATING ON TWO LEVELS
The automatic functions select the
appropriate cooking parameters for you
based on the food being prepared and
its weight. Select a pre-programmed
food from the following list:
Cooking fresh vegetables.
Cooking frozen vegetables.

Defrosting meat, poultry and ready
meals *.
* These positions do not allow a delayed
start.
- Turn the function selector to the
automatic function of your choice.

DEFROSTING
Using your micro-wave oven to defrost
frozen food saves you a lot of time.
To defrost food, use the MICROWAVE
function set to power level 100 W.
What you need to know:
Small cuts of meat or fish can be cooked
immediately after defrosting. Larger
pieces such as meat joints or whole fish
will still be slightly frozen after the defrost
programme.
We recommend that you let the food
stand for a period of time at least equal
to the defrosting time to ensure an even
temperature.
Food covered with ice crystals will take
longer to defrost. In this case, you
should increase the defrosting time.
A few tips:
The defrosting time also depends on the
shape, size, starting temperature and
quality of the food.
In most cases, food must be removed
from its packaging. Remember to remove
any metal staples from the packaging.
Halfway through defrosting, the pieces of
food should be turned over, stirred and
separated if they were frozen together.
If you are defrosting large pieces of
meat or fish that prevent rotation of the
turntable, use the turntable stop function.
In this case, turn the food regularly.
Defrost meat or fish by putting it on an
upside-down saucer on top of a plate to
let the juices run. If they stay in contact
with the food, they will overheat.
Never refreeze food before cooking it.
Defrost programme time:
Defrost programme times are calculated
for food frozen at -18°C. This gives you
an indication of the required defrosting
time, but the actual time may vary
based on the thickness, shape, size and
packaging of the food.
